About this lesson
In Biosphere 2 the trees grew fast and then fell over. No wind, no strength. Wealth removes wind automatically. Kids build their version of stress wood from resistance survived, attached to something they actually care about. You can quit, but never in the valley.
What you’ll learn
- Comfort without wind produces collapse.
- You can quit. Never in the valley. Finish, then decide.
- Leave small discomforts uncleared on purpose.
- Difficulty needs meaning or it is just misery.
